This is the second try for this kind of technology. In the famous "internet
boom" of the nineties, another company called iSmell tried and failed.
Their product was selling for $269, while Scent.tv's product is going for $369.
The problem remains the same, why would a consumer buy an expensive peripheral
that has very little content designed for it? And why would a content provider
spend the time and money creating content for a device that hs very little penetration
in the market? There are obvious uses for this technology, like selling perfumes
online, but considering
that most people who buy perfume online are just purchasing something they have
previously worn or smelled, then this product still does not add value.

Have to agree, it is hard to see how they'll find many takers given the cost. They do say they have lined up content providers, but I don't know the companies involved so no idea what you'd have available to “smell” if you were willing to pay the $369 — and I assume you have to also buy scent refills, so it would not be a cheap proposition.
